Can't get enough Shattered Glass! And yes there is one version of SG Prime where they moulded the damage to the windscreen & that's the Magnificent Mecha MM01P Bumblebee Movie Prime SG variant. The hole goes straight through the panel & the cracks aren't painted or stuck on, they're etched! It's a beautiful piece! All the articulation & moulded details of a Threezero MDLX non transforming figure, but this work of engineering genius does transform with no backpack or stacks of panels hiding round back. Insanely clean in both modes. One thing about the damaged windscreen though. You can see the purple plastic behind it through the hole but a dab of matte black paint in that recess takes care of that nicely.

I didn't know they did that with MM01P. It just makes it more gorgeous. I'm not a big movie collector, but all the Magnificent Mecha Primes looked absolutely amazing. The extra detail with the SG one is even better! ~The Con

@botvscon Absolutely, same here. In the entire Bayverse, there was just one figure I was tempted to own. Nightwatch Prime. As simple repaints go, it's one of the best I've seen. But that was it, I mostly stick with Masterpiece or 3rd party oversize MP quality G1 figures. But that was before I fell down the Shattered Glass rabbithole & found that the Bumblebee Movie designs in the Shattered Glass livery creates the perfect storm! I just went nuts over that combination.

The v2 Takara MP seekers are nice and all - and I like the MPU Thrust, but the thing to remember is that they have no waist swivel

Man, James came out swinging in this episode dropping the MakeToys "exclusive" for TFCON.....😂 Was impressed by Bobby's restraint. 😊 I feel like MakeToys have squandered their own momentum with going to the well with this mold over and over again. Ruckus (or Waffle-us) looks ok, but a pass for me. I might buy the OP commander class, on sale, but justifying the backpack is a bit of copium. I'm a big Jetfire fan so that MPG Shattered Glass version might get me. Love how James talked himself out on the SG Optimus in real-time there 😂😂 Omg, I cannot unsee the bikini now on the Bingo sports OP...😂😂😂😂😂 bellybutton ring😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "Prime is packing"....killing me At this point I'm waiting for Tonka to announce a Devastator....maybe Fisher-Price....

I'm excited for the bludgeon and ruckus two pack as well as 86 Optimus. With signal answer he was on Earth as a traffic light and caddy corner from him on the intersection was a Autobot that turned into a phone booth.

I pre-ordered my Death Cobra March 2, and I think they snuck in that listing just the day befor.

12:27 - this looks way too toon to be a good SS86 figure. I honestly think the Earthrise figure with some tweaks would be better than this. Just give Earthrise : longer torso, painted face, legs that don't swing 180° for transformation, MP1-style front wheel into torso, matrix cover, and detailed trailer with axe and roller. This just looks like it will be way way too fiddly and fake part-y like MP44, which is why I don't buy MP anymore. It's too toon-slavish and it's not fun to transform. My overall preference is diaclone transformations and detail, real world alt modes, and robot modes that make only the necessary accommodation for the toon, like Trialbreaker's head, or Ironhide and Ratchet
